Audio Script (Track 01.08)

KEREM: You're new at this football club, aren't you?
PEDRO: Yes. My name's Pedro.
KEREM: Hi, Pedro, I'm Kerem. Welcome to the club. Where are you from?
PEDRO: I'm from Segovia, in Spain.
KEREM: Really? My grandma's Spanish. She's from Cádiz.
PEDRO: Do you speak Spanish?
KEREM: Yes, but not very well.
PEDRO: Maybe we can speak Spanish together sometimes?
KEREM: OK. I'd like to do that. I think Spanish is really difficult.
PEDRO: It isn't for me!
KEREM: Ha ha! No, of course it isn't! Do you want to play with the club every week?
PEDRO: Yes. I love football.
KEREM: Me too.
PEDRO: Where's the match next week?
KEREM: It's in Bolu.
PEDRO: Is that far away?
KEREM: No, it isn't far, but you need to drive there.
PEDRO: Oh dear. I don't have a car.
KEREM: Don't worry. You can come with us.
PEDRO: Thanks! That's really kind.
KEREM: No problem. Be ready by nine o'clock.
PEDRO: Great. See you next week!
